Title: Pins and needles feeling in fingers?
Post by: Swlabr on July 10, 2011, 02:56:53 PM: I'm on a test (500 mg/week) and dianabol (30-40 mg/day), and I've started getting this pins and needles feeling in the tips of my fingers. Does anyone know what this it?

It only started once I went from 30 to 40 mg on dianabol, which was yesterday. I'm gonna guess it might be this, but does anyone know what it is?

Thanks.

It's probably me overreacting. We'll see how it goes. Thanks, fellas!

Nope, I've taken a few days off to recover.

Possibilities:
CTS
Placebo
Enviroment caused i.e. training, eating, stress etc
Unknown-get a check-up

Hmm. I'll bump down the dianabol to 30 mg again and see if that has any effects. If it persists, I might go to the doctor.

Thanks, guys. :)

DBol increase has you holding more water which is putting more pressure on the joints, etc...much like carpel tunnel as someone else mentioned.

also...you'll have to watch your sodium intake if you're going to keep the dose at that level...
Title: Re: Pins and needles feeling in fingers?
Post by: Swlabr on July 10, 2011, 04:11:12 PM: Is this serious? Will taking in less sodium stop it, or should I just lower the dose?

Thanks, Chick. :)

lol. the pseudo science on this board is hilarious.

do you really think that an increase in cellular water is going to increase pressure in the body to such an extent that it starts to impinge on nerves?- do you not think that the skin and muscle fascia and so on cannot stretch to accommodate some water?

im not saying im right, but it makes me laugh every time i see someone here take 1 and 1 and come up with 3...and then claim to be an expert.

it could be a whole bunch of far more logical things than a fanciful correlation to an increase of 25% of a daily steroid dose.

not if your BP is fine..more annoying than anything. less sodium is a good idea anyway.

x2

Impingement at the nerve root....impingement at the brachial plexus....impingement at the flexor retinaculum.....

Train hard with some straps that maybe were a little tight? (would explain bilateral pain).....potential central disc bulge/prolapse.....more likely the causes than "excess sodium" ::)

actually i commend you chick for giving advice on this subject. its funny i read the threads after yours and guys that gave no advise to this guy on the subject criticize your post. weather right or wrong its good to hear from a pro or anyone with knowledge on this subject. real world experience to me is better then what a guy in lab coat says.

Seriously though, suck it up, ride it out and stop whingeing.

Title: Re: Pins and needles feeling in fingers?
Post by: Dr Dutch on July 11, 2011, 02:14:36 AM: CTS-like symptoms, you should examine in which fingers you have these sensations to know which nerve is being irritated. Usually the nervus medianus or ulnaris.
Problem can be in the wrist (ss CTS) but also more proximal (ellbow, shoulder plexus). Even if BP is normal, you could use a (moderate !) diuretic to lose some fluid. Check the scale to see if and how much water you hold.
If the muscle mass between thumb and index finger starts to atrophy, you are in trouble..

Says Dr Dutch

Post by: Swlabr on July 11, 2011, 06:05:57 AM: Dank je wel! :)

What diuretic would you recommend? I must admit, I don't really know anything about diuretics...
